We offer solutions that are completely flexible and designed to meet your organization’s exact needs.

Develop Talent:

Competencies identify the skills knowledge and abilities required for exemplary workplace performance. They provide the basis for performance appraisal and performance development. We can work with you to create a talent development plan.

Create an Efficient Workforce:

What do your employees need to do to make your organization successful? Organizations develop competencies to set the standards for job performance and roll out those standards across the organization whenever it is in one location or in several geographic locations. If your goal is to create an efficient workforce contact us.

Plan Leadership Development:

The Competency Group helps organizations identify key leadership competencies to form the basis of targeted leadership development and training strategies.

Support Compliance & Safety:

Do you need to implement competency assessments to meet regulatory safety and environmental requirements? Are you concerned about the potential for workplace incidents and accidents that could lead to employee injury (or death), employees off work, and potential lawsuits?

Do you need to prove to regulators and legislators that your organization has properly trained its workers?

Competencies spell out exactly what employees are expected to do on the job to maintain a safe work environment. Competencies provide the foundation for competency assessment and training that ensures you are fulfilling your regulatory requirements.

The Competency Group has helped many organizations develop competency frameworks. We have proven tools and methods and tools that work. Contact us to learn more.

Streamline Jobs:

Is your organization undergoing a merger or organizational redesign? When two established organizations merge, often the result is a complex organizational dilemma. Often, job roles are called by different titles but upon analysis, the responsibilities are the same. By properly defining roles, job descriptions, and finding efficiencies through this process, your organization will benefit in both time and cash savings.

The Competency Group can help you streamline and clarify job roles to achieve workforce efficiencies and cost savings.

Succession Plans:

Are you concerned about losing your experienced people and their knowledge? Do you need a cost efficient and effective way to quickly onboard new employees to reduce time and cost in transition?

The Competency Group offers a proven and cost-effective succession planning service that captures the relevant and important information from skilled workers and managers. We then organize this information in a way that makes it easily translatable to the new person in the position. This then becomes a knowledge framework that transforms easily into an effective training platform. Contact us to help you build a smart framework that ensures company knowledge stays with the company.

Develop Occupational Standards:

The Competency Group has developed many National Occupational Standards in Canada in a variety of industries such as electricity, mining, biotechnology, agriculture, early childhood development and wood manufacturing.
